Wiper Patriotic Front Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka condemned the National Police Service for turning its guns and batons on the citizens it exists to protect during the 36th Saba Saba Day.
Kalonzo said that Peaceful marchers were met with an excessive deployment of police officers, roadblocks and the deliberate closure of major roads, effectively curtailing the constitutional freedoms of movement, assembly and peaceful protest.
The Wiper Party Leader raised concerns that Plainclothes and masked officers forcibly seized young Kenyans from our streets into unmarked vehicles across the country while concealing their identities in blatant disregard of the rule of law and existing court orders.
